BOSTON (CBS) – New England Patriots defensive lineman Tommy Kelly and running back Leon Washington have been declared “out” while tight end Rob Gronkowski is among seven players listed as “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

Kelly left last week’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth quarter and missed all three practice sessions this week with an ankle injury. His absence will leave an even bigger void on the Patriots defensive line, which is already missing nose tackle Vince Wilfork.
